Reinforcement Learning for Jump‐Diffusions, With Financial Applications

Mathematical Finance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We study continuous‐time reinforcement learning (RL) for stochastic control in which system dynamics are governed by jump‐diffusion processes. We formulate an entropy‐regularized exploratory control problem with stochastic policies to capture the exploration–exploitation balance essential for RL.

Never, Ever Getting Started: On Prospect Theory Without Commitment

Mathematical Finance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Prospect theory is arguably the most prominent alternative to expected utility theory. We study the investment or gambling behavior of a prospect theory decision maker who is aware of his time‐inconsistency but lacks commitment. For the empirically relevant prospect theory specifications, we obtain the extreme prediction that such a decision ...

Correction to: Cylindrical Martingale Problems Associated with Lévy Generators [PDF]

Journal of Theoretical Probability, 2020
In the present paper, the author corrects his previous paper [ibid. 32, No. 3, 1306--1359 (2019; Zbl 1486.60094)]. First, he explains how the setup of the generalized martingale problem in that paper can be adjusted to include the possibility of an explosion in a continuous manner (and not only as a jump), and secondly, he adds a missing assumption on ...

Equilibrium Reward for Liquidity Providers in Automated Market Makers

Mathematical Finance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We find the equilibrium contract that an automated market maker (AMM) offers to their strategic liquidity providers (LPs) in order to maximize the order flow that gets processed by the venue. Our model is formulated as a leader–follower stochastic game, where the venue is the leader and a representative LP is the follower.

Random Carbon Tax Policy and Investment Into Emission Abatement Technologies

Mathematical Finance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We analyze the problem of a profit‐maximizing electricity producer, subject to carbon taxes, who decides on investments into CO2$\rm CO_2$ abatement technologies. We assume that the carbon tax policy is random and that the investment in the abatement technology is divisible, irreversible, and subject to transaction costs.

Relative Arbitrage Opportunities With Interactions Among N Investors

Mathematical Finance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The relative arbitrage portfolio outperforms a benchmark portfolio over a given time‐horizon with probability one. With market price of risk processes depending on the market portfolio and investors, this paper analyzes the multi‐agent optimization of relative arbitrage opportunities in the coupled system of market and wealth dynamics.

A Model of Strategic Sustainable Investment

Mathematical Finance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We study a problem of optimal irreversible investment and emission reduction formulated as a nonzero‐sum dynamic game between an investor with environmental preferences and a firm. The game is set in continuous‐time on an infinite‐time horizon.

Robust Mean–Variance Portfolio Optimization: Mean–Variance–Variance Criterion Versus Mean–Variance–Standard Deviation Criterion

Mathematical Finance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We study a dynamic portfolio optimization problem under the mean–variance–variance (M‐V‐V) criterion proposed by Maccheroni et al. It is an analogue of the Arrow–Pratt approximation to the well‐known smooth ambiguity model. Under the standard Black–Scholes framework, we derive fully explicit equilibrium investment strategies in which a DM's ...

On the Exact Limiting Distribution of a Volatility Target Index

Mathematical Finance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Assuming a lognormal distribution for the underlying risky asset, we study the limiting distribution of a volatility target index as the rebalancing time step approaches zero. Two limit theorems (a strong law of large numbers and a central limit theorem) are established, and as an application, the exact limiting distribution is derived.
